“God knows inventing a universe is a complicated business.”
Ursula K. Le Guin
New Worlds is an experimental series, merging magic and technology to explore the interconnected topics of sound and ritual, myth-making, non-linear storytelling, ecological futures, and more-than-human narratives.
This new series expands outwards from Alice Bucknell's work New Mystics, a digital platform merging magic, ritual and technology with GPT-3, an AI system that can mimic human language.
In an ever-complexifying present, where vital reconceptions of history and speculations on the future converge, the need for critically imagining new and alternative worlds has become a vital practice.
Featuring nine artists across five events, these evening sessions will feature performances, installations and film screenings alongside conversations with the artists, moderated by Bucknell.
